Rule Fundamental= This 8 eight seconds rule application is based entirely on the individual counting of the eight seconds by an official. In case of any difference between the number of seconds counted by the official and those displayed on the twenty-four second device, the decision of the official shall take precedence.

eBA Basketball Statistics Tracking= There is no special statistical rule because there is no such case of an official error: the official is entirely qualified to decide when the eight-second period is terminated.

It is a turnover, but if you are sure with the video analysis and you don't want to punish the player, you can record that action as a Team Turnover.

Rule Fundamental=If an eight-second count in the backcourt is stopped because of a jump ball situation and the resulting alternating possession throw-in is awarded to the team that was in control of the ball, that team shall have only whatever time was remaining in the eight-second period.

Basketball Rule Application=Team A shall have only three seconds remaining to cause the ball to move into the team A frontcourt.

eBA Basketball Statistical Tracking=This play is registered normally, and in case of an 8 seconds violation, we'll register a Team Turnover, forced or unforced depending upon the 3 seconds plays.

Another 8 seconds case: Team A has been in control of the ball for five seconds in the team A backcourt when a held ball occurs. The officials determine that team A is entitled to the next alternating possession throw-in.

There is a new 8 second count ? Which is the tracking of an eventual turnover in this play ?

About the Concept: 8 (or 10) Second Violation= Once a team gains control of the ball in the backcourt, it has either 8 or 10 seconds (as specified below) to proceed to the frontcourt (i.e. the ball gains frontcourt status).

About the NBA Rules: Section VIII-Ten-Second RuleA team shall not be in continuous control of a ball which is in its backcourt for more than 8 consecutive seconds.EXCEPTIONS:(1) A new 8 seconds is awarded if the defense: (a) kicks or punches the ball, (b) is assessed a technical foul, or (c) is issued a delay of game warning. (2) A new 8 seconds is awarded if play is suspended to administer (see Commentaries below ).PENALTY: Loss of ball. The ball is awarded to the opponent at the midcourt line, with the ball having to be passed into the frontcourt.

About the FIBA Rules: Rule V - Art. 281. Whenever a player gains control of a live ball in his backcourt, his team must cause the ball to go into its frontcourt within eight ( 8 ) seconds.2. The eight ( 8 ) seconds period will continue with any time remaining when the team that previously had control of the ball is awarded a throw-in in the backcourt, as a result of:- a ball having gone out-of-bounds;- a player of the same team having been injured;- a jump ball situation;- a double foul;- a cancellation of equal penalties against both teams.

Commentaries: If a player suffers a laceration or a wound where bleeding occurs, the officials shall suspend the game at the earliest appropriate time and remove the injured player from the game..... ....ONLY the injured player may be removed from the game under these circumstances. No mandatory timeouts may be awarded if play is suspended for the defensive team. The offensive team will receive a full 8 or 10 seconds to advance the ball into the frontcourt. The 24-second clock will remain as is or reset to 8 or 10, whichever is greater.

About 8 / 10 Seconds Rule Differences at different Leagues:

FIBA: 8 seconds. Count is not reset if ball is deflected out of bounds by defence or if possession is retained because of an alternating possession throw-in. NBA: 8 seconds. Count is reset if the defence kicks or punches the ball, is assessed a technical foul, or is issued a delay of game warning; or if play is stopped due to a player bleeding. For purposes of this rule, the ball gains front court status on a pass when it crosses the plane of the centre line. WNBA: 10 seconds; otherwise same as NBA.NBDL: 7 seconds; otherwise same as NBA. NCAA Men: 10 seconds. Count ends (without penalty) if the ball becomes dead (e.g., if the defensive team deflects the ball out of bounds). NCAA Women: No time limit (other than the shot clock).

To close and resume this topic: Right, the rule says "continuous control". There is no control during the TO (or subsequent throw-in). SO, TEAM A GETS A FULL 10 SECONDS COUNT AFTER THE THROW-IN TO ADVANCE THE BALL TO THE FRONT COURT. No violation and none for the stats-man.

How to stats-rule this situation: in high school boys' basketball, Team A has ball, pressured by Team B. The shot clock runs down to 26 seconds, and team A calls timeout, still in the backcourt. Following the timeout, the ball is inbounded still in the backcourt by Team A.

They cross the half court line with 22 seconds remaining on the shot clock.

Is this a 10 second violation ? Or does the 10 seconds count cease at the calling of the timeout ?
